Why do you want to be superwealthy?

[Alex Silang]

Just an honest question.

Besides being able to "retire early" and maybe do a couple international trips a year, why do you want to acquire a massive amount of wealth? 

I used to fall into this category. But then I switched jobs and enjoyed my job a lot more (so much so that I think i'll work til 65 or whatever the retirement age will be). Also investing in real estate has made me pay attention to my budget more. I find "cutting back" on luxuries doesn't hurt me at all and it's kind of the situation where buying real estate to make me wealthy is making me realize I don't need to be wealth to be happy.

What do you think?
